## What is Chorda?

Chorda is a chord instrument for iPhone.

Choose a scale, hit a pad, and you're playing chords — in key, every time. You don't need to know any music theory, and you won't have to think about it while you're playing. Play with the on-board sampler featuring a huge selection of sounds or connect over USB and it sends MIDI straight to your DAW or hardware. Record the audio and MIDI directly, and send it instantly.
